jacketwatch · January 10, 2012

Thanks for the great review, Larry...glad you had a nice cruise excepting for a few difficulties...maybe Celebrity needs to get Michel Roux back as head chef of Celebrity...food and everything was so great then.

I'll have to google that dude

The ports sound wonderful. Too bad about the bad food ;o(

I hear you about the food accommodations. Because of all of my food allergies, I spent an entire cruise (Carnival and Celebrity both) eating just salmon and broccoli 3 times/day. I even provided a list of things I could eat (as opposed to what I could not). I like the Gordon Ramsey'd idea.

Great cruise review. I would love to go to Israel.

Thanks! Israel is amazing and if you ever get a chance to go please do so. The time we went, late Oct/early Nov. is great weather wise.

Good to know about the timing for Israel. We tend to think in U.S./Canadian terms.

Larry we enjoyed reading your review, especially since we've also cruised on the Connie. Sorry to hear about the food issues and other problems. Glad you had a good cruise in spite of it all.

Got a big update. Well i spoke with a CS rep today from Celebrity who really listened to our issues. She was dismayed to hear that the 1st guy did not want to offer anything in for compensation inre to our food issues. When I told her he said "we don't usually do that" she nearly flipped and said they do indeed have a lot of wiggle room to compensate for performance issues. She knows this guy too. So she TRIPLED what he gave so now we have $240.00 in future OBC! That folks is great CS.
